Re: Re: Old computers

Ross, Paul, et al:

Ross: I just got back from trip to NJ, I  got your 
previous message re: same topic.  Thanks for the offer.

I would greatly appreciate donations of computer, printers etc
I can arrange to pick up, from anypne, at any location. This weekend is
out because the carpenter/workmen wil be here to start building an
enclosed area for a community IT project in Felicity.
486 is fine, I don't know if 286 can be used as a Linux workstation; if
it can then certainly it would be useful. 

We intend to network all these PCs to access the NET, running Linux,
using my existing wireless NET via dish on roof.

Main objective of this project is to take IT to the people, many who 
can't afford or have access to the INternet.


Thanks, 

Regards,

Deosaran
